							Using the Song Sequencer
E-79
As explained in detail under “Songs, tracks, and parts” (page 
E-65), the system track is an individual track, while the 
keyboard play and Auto Accompaniment data are recorded 
individually to multiple parts (A04 through A07, A09 through 
A16). The data of these parts is extracted to Tracks 04 
through 07 and 09 through 16, with one part corresponding 
individually to one track of data. This makes it easy to edit 
each accompaniment part individually.
 Performing this operation will delete all data currently 
recorded in the system track except for tempo data.
 Performing this operation deletes all data currently 
recorded in Tracks 04 through 07 and 09 through 16, 
and overwrites it with the data in the system track.

 Performing the above procedure does not clear the 
contents of the two source tracks. If you no longer need the 
content of a track, you can clear it using the procedure 
under “To clear a single track” (page E-80).
The song sequencer records all Digital Keyboard operations 
you perform while playing as “events”, which are the smallest 
unit of data that makes up a song. Playing a single note on the 
keyboard, for example, stores the following events: note start 
measure, beat, and track, note pitch, note length, and note 
intensity.
The following operations are supported during event editing.
 Deleting events
 Inserting events
 Copying events within a specific range to a desired location
 Quantizing
* note events
 Deleting pitch bender events
 Adjusting note event velocity values
 Adjusting note event gate time values
 Selecting the type of events that appear on the Event Editor 
screen (View Select)
 Inserting or deleting beat events
 Directly inputting note events (step input)
*Quantize is an operation that automatically adjusts the 
note-on timing of a note event to match a reference note.

button, press the C-17 (MENU) button.
 This displays the event editor menu shown below.
 Next, select the menu item that corresponds to the type 
of operation you want to perform. Details about each 
operation are provided in the procedures of this section.Editing Events

The event editor screen displays the individual events that 
make up a song as values and characters as shown in the 
sample screen below.
The event editor screen shows three events at one time. The 
event in the middle line is the selected event. You can change 
the value where the solid-line cursor is located. A broken line 
under a setting value indicates that the cursor can be moved 
to that value.
■Reading Event Data
Here we will use two types of event displays to explain how to 
read event data.
 Example 1: Note event
 Example 2: Pitch bender eventThe following explains the meaning of each screen position.

1
For all event types, indicates the even location 
(timing) in the following format: 
measure:beat:tick. A “tick” is a time unit that is 
shorter than one beat. Song sequencer data uses 
96 ticks per beat (for 2/4 to 8/4) or 48 ticks per 
beat (for 2/8 to 16/8).
2
For almost all events, this position shows an 
abbreviation indicating the event type. “Bend” in 
display example (2) stands for “pitch bender 
event”. Note events (display example (1)) and 
chord events are different in that this position 
shows the event parameter (note name for a note 
event, root for a chord event) setting value.
For information about what is displayed at this 
position and the corresponding event type, see 
the “Event Data List” (page E-84).
3
This position shows parameter setting values that 
corresponds to the event type. When an event 
has multiple parameters, use the R-17 (u, i) 
buttons to move the cursor, which will scroll the 
display between the parameters. The name of the 
parameter at the current cursor position will be 
displayed in position 
4.
4
This position indicates where the cursor is 
currently located as “MEAS.” (measure), “BEAT” 
(beat), or “TICK” (tick).

The following table shows the event types that correspond to the abbreviations that appear on the display, as well as the 
parameters of each event type and setting ranges.
